It was hard not to notice the 8-year-old boy Brooke across the street who stormed in and out of his own house. He did it so often that a neighbor, Chris, wondered what was going on in his life. So Chris asked him.
"He told me that he didn't have a father, "says Chris, now 58, "and I realized there might be something I could do for him. "
That something was fishing, and Chris's father taught him how to fish. "Fishing always brought me peace and it taught me how to be patient. When you're on the water, you can forget about your problems and just appreciate the moment, "Chris said.
One Saturday afternoon on the water led to another, and soon he was teaching other kids in their neighborhood, Lakeland, Florida, how to fix a line, hold a pole, and roll in a big catch. That was 16 years ago.
Since then, Chris has taken groups of kids out almost every weekend to fish. Then, in 2018 he started the nonprofit Take a Kid Fishing Inc. He and a small group of volunteers have introduced more than 2, 500 kids—most without fathers around—to the calming peace found on the water and the excitement of catching a fish
One of those kids was Jayden, who struggled emotionally when his father died in a car accident in January 2020.
"He was really close to his dad, "says Jayden's mother, Terra." And with two younger sisters, he felt he needed to take over the man-of-the-house role. He was trying to be strong for everyone and didn't show his emotion. I was wondering what to do to help him, and then I learned about Take a Kid Fishing Inc."
Jayden, now 13, has become a devoted fisherman and credits Chris with helping him mature.
"There's nothing like feeling that first tug(猛拉)on the line and seeing a kid light up with a smile, " Chris says. "I feel lucky to witness that every weekend. "
Recently, the "city walk" has been gaining steam among residents and tourists around China. Or social platform Xiaohongshu, data shows that the number of city walk-related topic posts has increased by 700 percent over the past three months, and the total number of interactions has increased by more than 600 percent
A city walk is a form of urban tourism originating in the UK. Unlike traditional sightseeing, which aims to hit famous attractions and commercial center, usually by vehicles with tense schedules, city walk is about" toaming"(漫步)around a city on foot, soaking up the atmosphere and finding unusual things that even a resident of the city might not have noticed before. Such walks generally avoid famous scenic spots and shopping centers, and take you to places where you can have real interactions with the local people, eat at small but authentic restaurants, and gain a deeper understanding of the history and culture of the city.
City walkers are a cast of people who possess intense curiosity. They are eager to engage with the city they are visiting or reside in their own way. By" roaming" on foot, city walkers can better feel the texture and listen to the breath of a place. They seek pleasure more through connection than consumption, which indicates a deep cultural curiosity. For example, in Chongqing, if you don't take a walk, you can hardly experience the unique geographical charm of the mountainous city. Whether wandering through the hutongs in Beijing or exploring the Chinese parasol tree district in Shanghai, city walks provide an opportunity for people to discover the beauty of the surroundings beyond the surface and uncover hidden knowledge.
The appeal of a city walk lies in the young generation's changing attitude toward life-pursuing quality leisure time while being occupied with demanding workloads and limited time for exploration. While roaming along the road, you can entirely focus on yourself and listen to your inner voice and care for what you feel, which is a way to love yourself and benefit your mental health. Just like Oscar Wilde once said, "To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance."
Humans are not the only fashionistas in the animal kingdom. Titmice can be fashion-victims, too, apparently. A study by Sonja Wild and Lucy Aplin shows that, given the chance, titmice decorate their nests with this season's must-have color.
Dr. Wild and Dr. Aplin were following up the work published in 1934 by Henry Smith Williams, an American naturalist. He noticed that when he put various colored balls of yarn(纱)out in his garden, almost always one and only one became popular that season for incorporation into local birds'nests. But which particular hue(颜色)was favored varied from season to season. This suggested that the color chosen by one of the early birds was spotted and copied by others.
Williams's work was, however, forgotten until Dr. Wild and Dr. Aplin came across it while following up on a different study. This group noted that, during any given breeding season, the blue titmice they were investigating tended to incorporate the same plants into their nests regardless of how abundant those herbs actually were. This, too, suggested fashion-following—and it likewise led Dr. Wild and Dr. Aplin to speculate that birds were studying the nests of others and copying them. They therefore set out to re-run Williams's experiment.
According to the study, of 68 titmice nests built that season in the experimental areas, 26 included wool from a dispenser(分配器). Of these, 18 were constructed after both colors had become available from all dispensers. Even so, 10 of that 18 included only the color of wool first chosen by a nestbuilder. By contrast, all eight wool-bearing nests in the control zone contained a mixture of colors—a statistically significant difference.
Titmice, then, do seem to be "on trend"when it comes to nest-building materials. Why that should happen remains unclear. Dr. Wild and Dr. Aplin suspect the trendsetters are older birds, and that evolution favors younger ones copying their elders since those elders have evidently survived what fortune throws at a titmouse. Williams's onginal work, though, suggested such initial choices were arbitrary(任意的), a bit like those of the leaders of human fashions.

Lisa checked the words on her spelling test again and again. If she got full marks today, she would win her class'Spelling Challenge and a prize, a series of books that she had onged for. Plus, Mr. Matt had promised to sing a song in front of the whole class if anyone got a perfect score.
